The par value is $5 per share.
Value of common equity on 12/31/2012 is $85,000,000.
Number of shares issued is computed by dividing the value of equity by the par value per share.
Number of shares issued = $85,000,000 / $5 = 17 million shares.
Treasury stock = 2 million shares are repurcahsed for 2012.
Total outstanding shares for 2012 = Number of shares issued - Treasury stock
= 17 million - 2 million
= 15 million
Therefore, the total shares outstanding for 2012 are 15 million
The correct option is (c) 15 million
